Many thanks go out to Dennis Madigan, Joan Moore, and Conor Moore for all the work they did at the benefit to support the AOH Pipe Band.  Special thanks goes out to Fergal Hayes, Mike O’Sullivan, Gordon Jones, Margie Mulvihill and John Reynolds for donating their time and tremendous musical talent and to Denis Toal who really came through getting the bathrooms ready early. Kudos to all of you who supported the function. The turnout was tremendous and greatly appreciated by the band.

Dan Callanan reports the following Good and Welfare News… Please say a prayer for the repose of the soul of Mike Smith, Joe Connolly’s brother Brian, Pat Benn’s sister Jacqueline, and Ed “the coach” Pascocello. A couple of prayers are in order for Brendan Malley who suffered a fall, Gene Flood who is making progress as an outpatient at Helen Hayes, Paddy Kelly and Harry Stern who are recovering from bypass operations, Brendan and Jim Walsh would appreciate visitors, please stop by the pub to get their addresses and phone numbers. Denis Troy who is recovering well from his Dominican belly flop, and Denis “CC” Toal who recently had a stent installed. A couple of members have requested our prayers for their loved ones; Ray Gallagher for his brother Dan, Frank Aiello for his bride Joan, and John Ovichinnikoff for his dad Larry.

As always, please remember to say an extra prayer or two for our wounded warriors and their families.

Yours in Friendship, Unity & Christian Charity,
